Samrajyadayini (साम्राज्यदायिनी, IAST: Sāmrājyadāyinī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who bestows sovereign empire”. From sāmrājya (universal sovereignty, empire) and dāyinī (she who gives), this name reveals Lalithā as the divine bestower of supreme rulership upon her devoted seekers.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Sāmrājya derives from sam (fully, perfectly) and rājya (kingdom, reign), denoting not merely a kingdom but a supremely complete imperial dominion. Dāyinī, from the root dā (to give), marks her as an ever-generous bestower. Together, the name affirms that the Goddess grants her devotees not partial boons but the fullness of sovereign grace.

As an epithet in the Lalitā Sahasranāma, Sāmrājyadāyinī proclaims that Lalithā alone is the source of all earthly and spiritual sovereignty; the name can serve as a girl's name though it is long and is often shortened in practice. Pronounced sam-raj-ya-da-yi-ni.
